Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 ½ cup chopped onions

  • 2 fresh poblano chile peppers, chopped*

  • 2 teaspoon vegetable oil

  • 2 15 ounce cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 15 ounce can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained

  • 1 15 ounce can pinto beans or navy beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 15 ounce can golden hominy, rinsed and drained

  • 2 14.5 ounce cans reduced-sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth

  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

  • 1 8 ounce carton sour cream

  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

  • Salt and black pepper

  • Toppers, such as sliced avocado and radishes, roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas), crumbled Cotija cheese, lime wedges, and/or bottled hot pepper sauce

Directions

  1. In a 4- to 5-qt. pot cook and stir garlic, onion, and poblano in hot oil over medium 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Remove from heat.

  2. Add one can of the cannellini beans; mash until nearly smooth. Stir in remaining cannellini beans and next 6 ingredients (through oregano).

  3. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream. Cover and let stand 5 minutes or until heated through. Stir in cilantro. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve with desired toppers.

*Tip

Chiles such as poblanos contain capsaicin, which gives them their spicy heat and will cause a long-lasting burning tingle on your skin. To avoid this, wear plastic or rubber gloves when working with chiles. If they touch your hands, wash with soapy water.
